    A Motorcycle Thread About Absolutely Nothing!

    Hey Jiro: Get better soon. Traded in my 18 year old Nighthawk for this last night. Now we can meet up for a camping trip next spring in the Adirondacks or in the Blue Ridges. 2011 with ABS, 6K miles, factory bags & rack, Madstad bracket included.

    Putting back seat down

    I only had one vehicle that allowed you to put the seats down either by a lever in the trunk or a lever on top of the seatbacks. Since the late '90's, all of my vehicles had seats that only have levers from the inside of the car. My new Focus has levers on the seats only, and the bottom seats...

    Do you have cool or beautiful pictures?

    Visited the Adirondacks recently during the KODA camp. Friend of mine had his two sons up there, set up tent next to his and had a good time. Pictures are at both Lake Inlet and Tupper Lake.

    You end up with a Jirohauer moment. Or is it a Steiniro moment?

    A 4-Wheels Thread About Absolutely Nothing!

    I wonder if they will bring back that Lil' Hustler pickup? Loved it when I was a kid. Too bad they only lasted a few years in upstate NY due to excessive rust issues...

    Relays

    I asked Purple, CSDVRS, and Sorenson to come out several times a few years ago, and only Sorenson replied, which is why I have it. Purple tried to get me to use their services with empty promises of getting free stuff. I was also turned off by their salespeople calling me at bad times to...

    Starbucks sued for refusing to Serve the Deaf

    Aren't you at least curious as to what started it? None of us have the facts, we did not see exactly what happened.

    CI Teaser Activation

    That's right....Bluetooth sucks the life out of my Android phone, can't imagine how much juice it would require on a CI.

    Zobmondo!!

    I'll take the squirts any day over headaches. With a headache, you can't do much....with diarrhea, as long as there is a toilet nearby, I can still get many things done. Skidmarks? Not a problem....all my new underwear is dark colored....I can shart and scratch my ass all I want and still...

    Can Cochlear Implant surgery cause schizophrenia?

    I brought that up with the medical pros, and they all said that even though anything is possible, it is highly unlikely. If I walked in between two coils that have a wide magnetic field, and the voltage is very high, such as 4000 volts in a power plant distribution center, and my body is...

    CI Teaser Activation

    Congrats.....I think they did a test on mine while I was on the operating table, but it was just a simple impedance test of each electrode. And...be careful what you wish for....some previously annoying folks' voices will still grate your nerves....LOL. Just wait until you plug the personal...

    does your pet know that u are deaf?

    My dog....no. My cat...yes. If he wants attention, he will tap our legs with his paw. If we are sleeping, and he wants out of the house, he will bite our necks or arms.

    Can Cochlear Implant surgery cause schizophrenia?

    From what I understand, schizophrenia can be brought on by many things, including psychological trauma. When you say he "passed an EMF detector" by his head and immediately acted up....I have my doubts that it was the cause, as a detector does not put out any signals, it only receives.....as...

    Audiology Group...SX70

    Wait....you signed up on a site that has a bunch of deaf people, and you are whining about being duped into getting crappy hearing aids, and if we complain, you want us to stop whining? Yes, we all have had issues with crappy sounding hearing aids. Like Ambrosia asked above....did you...

    Freedom to N6?

    If you like the Freedom, you will like the N5/N6 better. When I got my second CI, they gave me a second N5 to upgrade from the Freedom. Go for it.

    Cheapest way to replace a Nucleus 5

    They are similar, but the N5 has some extra algorithms in the programming that are supposed to improve speech discrimination by 20%. I can tell you this....I had my Freedom mapped just before the N5, and the difference is pretty noticeable.

    Cheapest way to replace a Nucleus 5

    My first CI came with two as well, second one did not, although they upgraded my Freedom. From what I was told, second processors must be approved by insurance adjustors.

    A question...is the Cochlear implant made for the hearing or for the deaf?

    Agreed, Jiro....I am done here. Oh, and pardon me, would you happen to have any Grey Poupon?
